 | D7 | Rename `LoadSecretsDir` to `LoadSecretsIntoEnvironment`, making process-environment mutation explicit. Preserve its signature apart from the name, report-plus-error behavior, and existing bootstrap semantics. |
 | D8 | Remove `CodeOptionsUnavailable` after confirming there is no intentional supported role. Do not introduce a failure merely to give the code a producer; a concrete reason to retain it should be brought back for discussion. |
 | A1 | Add `Result.Source(id)` for direct lookup of acquired-source evidence, alongside ordered `Sources()` enumeration and passive `SourceContext(id)` resource access. |
+| N1 | Rename `Paths(paths ...string) Search` to `SearchPaths(paths ...string) Search`, replacing the old name outright. Preserve literal file candidates, ordering, deferred acquisition, and selection/failure behavior. Leave semantic `Path` APIs and `Searches` unchanged. |
